I usually like most horror films, even if they are bad, but it's usually because there is some redeeming value to it. Genuine scares, good plot line, etc.
Sad to say, Incubus has ABSOLUTELY NOTHING valuable about it.
So the film starts with some odd fight between two scientists in some run-down bunker. I suppose this is intended to "grab" the viewer and make them wonder what's going on. Not really.
Then we come to our brave crew of young adults who will of course stumble upon some great horror. They suffer a car accident (note, you don't actually see the accident, just the car flipped over on it's side and a guardrail all twisted up.) Instantly you find that the dialog is terrible and the acting isn't much better.
So our brave party trek off across Montana to find the nearest town or something and decide to cut through some woods when they stumble upon some mysterious compound complete with automatic lights but for some reason the fence is quite easily kicked-in.
Now at this point in the film, you ask yourself why these people are so intent on getting inside the building, I guess it was supposed to be really cold outside and they needed shelter...despite the fact that it looked like it was the middle of summer and they all had camping equipment. Anyway, they climb up onto the roof and repel down a massive air shaft...first they send down Tara Reid...all alone and let her wander around while the others just stand around. Then they all decide to go down and look for Tara Reid except for one girl with a foreign accent who decides to leave and not tell anyone...
Well our foolish band of heroes explore their prison after the rope gets cut on the air shaft and they find bodies and most surprisingly, a guy in a coma-state with all sorts of wires attached to him.
Tara Reid suddenly because very interested in this guy for some reason, even after her brother gets killed by the last of the deranged scientists.
Fast forward a bit, the scientist kills himself and one of the guys is now deranged and he attacks them. Tara, on her brief examination of the data figures out that they are conducting experiments on this guy and that he's actually a killer who was supposed to be executed. Tara then talks about how the government (CIA, NSA, DIA, etc) were all conducting experiments but those were shut down in 1995 but for some reason this one continued...deep in the Montana woods where lost campers could stumble upon a super-secret operation....hmmm
So anyway, Tara figures out that the serial killer is getting into people's bodies when they sleep and this is where the movie gets its name. Sadly, an Incubus did not this and instead would have sex with women to create more incubi. But I guess it sounded cool and they needed something to make people want to watch this film. The group then decides to somehow trap the killer by having one of them fall asleep. Idiots. Obviously the person who falls asleep then tries to kill them and they are forced to kill her. Hilarious...what did they think was going to happen.
At this point, you're wondering why they don't just kill the serial killer and the one guy tries, though he only pulls out some tubes...rather than simply stab him or break his neck or something. And we all know what happens next, he comes alive and with only Tara Reid left, there's a chase scene and she outsmarts him and then kills him by making him fall down the air shaft and then she strangles him. Tara then falls asleep and has a dream of the killer pleasuring her and then eating her, ha ha. She wakes up to find police and she is taken outside. We find that the girl who left in the beginning apparently found the police and of course the last scene, we see Tara Reid with the killer eyes....
The film leaves you with a profound sense of...regret. Bad acting, horrible dialog, a plot line that makes no sense and so many holes that it's almost like this was written by a budding drama student in about an hour. Not even Tara Reid's ultra-tight shirt can save this film. Normally, for mediocre horror films, I would tell you to go ahead and rent it on netflix or something...no, save your time.
